Getting Started with mirage-scala

mirage-scala is the simple and powerful library to access RDBMS from Scala. I introduce how to use mirage-scala with sbt.

At first, add the following dependency into your build.sbt:

And create the jdbc.properties and put it on the root of classpath.

Next, you have to create the entity class. mirage-scala supports both of mutable and immutable style as entity class. This is the example of immutable style entity class:

Ready for mirage-scala. Let's try to use it!

You can insert, update and delete a record using SqlManager and entity classes. And also you can select a record by the primary key.

When you must select records by the more complex query, you can do it using 2way-SQL which is the powerful feature of mirage-scala. I would like to write about it in the next entiry.

mirage-scala 0.0.3 is now available!

mirage-scala is the wrapper of Mirage for Scala. It provides the best solution to access RDBMS from Scala.

New features in mirage-scala 0.0.3:

  • Case class (immutable model) is available as entity.
  • Option[T] is available as property type.

By these new features, mirage-scala became the more suitable library for Scala to access RDBMS.

mirage-scala is still under preview release. So any request or feedback welcome!

Mirage 1.1.4 is now available!

Mirage is a simple SQL centric database access library. See the following URL to know about Mirage:

New features in Mirage 1.1.4:

  • Added RailsLikeNameConverter as an optional NameConverter.
  • Added FieldPropertyExtractor as an optional implementation of PropertyExtractor.
  • BugFix: Avoid depending on JDBC 4.0 (Java6) API in DefaultValueType
  • Chopping semicolon from the end of the SQL file.
  • Improve: Avoid using type Exception/RuntimeException to make interfaces intension revealing
  • Added SqlManagerImpl#setValueTypes to make it easier to configure valueTypes using Spring framework
  • BugFix: PropertyExtractor extracts static or final field
  • Improvement: DefaultResultEntityCreator just reqires no-argument constructor. It really doesn't matter if the constructor is public.
  • Improvement: Make ValueType parameterized. If you implement custom ValueTypes, these is not compatible in this version.
  • Added BreakIterationException to discontinue iteration search.
  • BugFix: @Column is available for the select query.

Since this version, we provide a source code cross reference generated by Sorcerer. It generates so rich HTML based cross reference which provide references search like Eclipse. See the follwing URL:

I hope Mirage helps your development. Enjoy!
